This filter works by adding oxygen to the incoming water by passing it through a bubble of compressed air.
  • Page 7 Carbon Filter (BIFC Models) Cont... common treatment method in terms of volume of water treated annually because it’s inexpensive, easy to maintain and doesn’t produce potentially harmful reaction products such as tri-halo-methanes (THMs). Another method is the use of catalytic carbon to sulfide reduction through oxidation of sulfides with dissolved oxygen present in the water. Reduction of sulfides with catalytic activated carbon first involves adsorption of the sulfide species and then catalytic oxidation.

  • Page 8: Contaminants Found In Water

    CONTAMINANTS FOUND IN WATER IRON (Fe) Iron concentrations as low as 0.3 ppm will cause staining. The iron concentration, together with the flow rate demand and the consumption rate of the water determines the basic size filter system. The higher these factors are, the larger the required system. The filter system is capable of filtering out the three main types of iron found in water supplies: Soluble iron (also known as “clear water”...

    UNPACKING / INSPECTION Be sure to check the entire unit for any shipping damage or parts loss. Also note damage to the shipping cartons. Contact the transportation company for all damage and loss claims. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages in transit. Small parts, needed to install the filter, are in a parts box.

    BEFORE INSTALLATION Contact your local distributor to use Canature WaterGroup™ laboratory for complete water analysis free of cost and no obligation to you. The laboratory addresses can be found on the front page of the manual. All government codes and regulations governing the installation of these devices must be observed.
  • Page 13 NOTE: If your pumping rate is inadequate, do not install your filter until the problem is solved. Tools Required for Installation: Two adjustable wrenches Additional tools may be required if modification to home plumbing is required. Plastic inlet and outlet fittings are included with the filter. To maintain full valve flow, 3/4” or 1” pipes to and from the filter fittings are recommended. You should maintain the same, or larger, pipe size as the water supply pipe, up to the filter inlet and outlet.

  • Page 14: Installation

    INSTALLATION Proper installation sequence of water conditioning equipment is very important. Refer to the diagrams following for your particular water supply. NOTE: The Braukman air vent is not approved for use in the State of Wisconsin. An approved air to water tank and/or air vent should be used with this application in the State of Wisconsin.

  • Page 18 3. Outside faucets used to water lawns and gardens should not supply untreated water. A new water line is often required to be connected to supply untreated water to the inlet of the water filter and to the outside faucets. Cut the water line between where it enters the house and before any lines that branch off to feed the hot water heater or other fixtures in the house and as near the desired location of the water filter as possible.
  • Page 19 6. Connect Filter to the house plumbing. Any solder joints near the valve must be done before connecting any piping to the valve. Always leave at least 6” (152 mm) between the valve and joints when soldering pipes that are connected to the valve. Failure to do this could cause damage to the valve. Correct Installation of the Check Valve: Install 1”...

    3. Close main water supply valve or turn power off to pump and proceed with filter installation. During time required to install filter system, iron- fouled softener resin will be chemically cleaned. 3. After filter installation is completed and final adjustments are made with the water turned on and brine draw tube reconnected, manually reposition timer on softener to backwash position.

  • Page 24: Maintenance Instructions / Backwashing Instructions

    MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Your chem free iron filter requires some minor maintenance to ensure optimum performance and years of trouble-free clean water. The following steps should be performed once or twice a year (more often under harsh conditions): 1. Verify the pumping rate of the system - do not refer to a pumping curve for this data. Follow the instructions found on page 7. If the measured pumping rate is less than the backwash rate of the filter, see page 39, Trouble Shooting.
